    New to me HR824 on the way

    I only have 4.1 speakers (Front L/R and Rear L/R and the sub). I know...what kind of A/V Enthusiast/Audio Annexer am I? One that never got around to buying the front channel.

    Situation...my basement flooded. Everything is out down to the studs. Floors, walls and drop ceiling all being replaced. Caveat: I going to spend almost all of my budget to get it "back to what it was", so no big projects like adding an angled wall or double insulation and double sheetrock...

    Speakers for bedroom TV?

    Haywood's post about "mediocre speakers on purpose" piqued my interest. I was recently thinking about this kind of speaker, excellent timing on his post (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0719C132V?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details&th=1). Since I moved (coming up on 3 years) and expanded the number of...

    RAD...in 4K

    I was born in '76. So I was 8 or 9 when this came out. Have no idea if it played in a theater or if it was direct to video...but.. I'm not afraid to admit. I LOVED THIS MOVIE. I clearly remember my older brother betting me I couldn't say every line of the movie (along with the movie playing)...

    Curious, what does one use for setting up wire run tubing so I can avoid future snags/dips/turns/drills and just do it once? Regular 2" PVC or something?
